HISTORY OF WHITTIER COLLEGE

Whittier College, founded in 1887, was named for the Quaker abolitionist and poet John Greenleaf Whittier. Since that time, the institution has grown into a distinctive, national liberal arts college. It serves a diverse student population with unique, widely praised curricula. The College campus provides an intimate environment in which about 1,700 students live and study with more than 100 distinguished faculty Like other excellent liberal arts colleges, Whittier encourages students to become broadly educated rather than merely trained for a specific career. It emphasizes small, interactive classes led by full-time faculty members and requires that students cultivate the analytical, critical thinking, and rhetorical skills that all liberally educated persons enjoy.

Although the College has maintained no formal affiliation with the Religious Society of Friends since the 1940s, the social values of its Quaker heritage—respect for the individual, freedom of conscience, integrity, justice, and internationalism—strongly influence its ethos. From the beginning, the same egalitarian views that placed Quakers in the forefront of the baffle to abolish slavery dictated that the College open its doors to persons of both sexes as well as all races and cultures. Today, the College is a model for the nation with more than 60 percent of its undergraduates, and three of its four Rhodes Scholars, from underrepresented ethnic and international groups. This cultural diversity profoundly strengthens intellectual discourse and provides a realistic exposure to the kind of world students will enter upon graduation. Students and faculty continue a long tradition of community service, echoing the Quaker conviction that helping others is a moral obligation. International study opportunities enrich every field and major, reflecting the Quaker idea that truth transcends the boundaries of race, culture, and nation.

HISTURIA DE WHITTIER COLLEGE

Whittier College, fundado en 1887, lleva el nombre del poeta abolicionista cuáquero John Greenleaf Whittier. Desde entonces, la institución se ha convertido en una universidad nacional de artes liberales que irve a una poblaciôn estudiantil diversa con planes de

estudios ilnicos y ampliamente elogiados. El campus de Whittier ofrece un ambiente Intimo en el cp.ie unos 1,700 estudiantes viven y estudian con más de 100 profesores distinguidos. Al igual que otras excelentes universidades de artes liberales, Whittier anima a los estudiantes a recibir una amplia educación en lugar de simplemente capacitarse para una carrera especIllca. Se enfatizan las clases

pequeflas e interactivas dirigidas por profesores de tiempo completo y requiere que los estudiantes cultiven las habiidades analIticas, crIticas

(10)

y retóricas que todas las personas con educación liberal disfrutan.

Aunque el Coleglo no ha mantenido ninguna afiliación formal con

la Sociedad Religiosa de los Amigos desde la década de 1940, los

valores sociales de su patrimonio cuáquero—respeto por el inclividuo,

libertad de conciencia, integridad, justicia e internacionalismo—

iniluyen fuertemente en su ethos. Desde el principio, los mismos

puntos de vista igualitarios que colocaron a los cuáqueros en la

vanguardia de la batalla para abolir la esclavitud, dictaron que

Whittier abriera sus puertas a personas de ambos sexos, asI como a

todas las razas y naciones. Hoy en dia, Whittier es un modelo para la

nación con más del 60 por ciento de sus estudiantes universitarios,

y tres de sus cuatro becarios de Rhodes, de grupos étnicos e

internacionales subrepresentados. Esta diversidad cultural fortalece

profundamente el discurso intelectual y proporciona una exposición

realista al tipo de mundo al que entrarán los estudiantes al graduarse.

Los estudiantes y el cuerpo docente continüan una larga tradiciôn

de servicio a la comunidad, haciéndose eco de la convicción

cuáquera de que ayudar a los demás es una obligación moral. Las

oportunidades de estudiar en el extranjero enricjuecen todos los

campos y carreras, reflejando la idea cuáquera de que la verdad

trasciende las fronteras de raza, cultura y nación.

ACADEMIC REGALIA

The history of academic costume and ceremony dates from 12th and 13th century Europe and the medieval universities of Bologna, Paris, Oxford, and Cambridge. Originally, the university was an association of 'masters of arts" and the degree was the step taken to become a full member. The new master was admitted to begin teaching; the word "commencement" described that rite of passage. The most common articles of daily attire then were long flowing gowns and cloaks, with hoods attached for headwear; subsequently, hats became prominent. In England, details of scholars' apparel and occasions for use were strictly prescribed by university statutes.

American academic regalia is an inheritance primarily from Britain. The 1895 Intercollegiate Code provides the fundamental regulation. Gowns for all three degree levels are basic black and similar in shape, although sleeve patterns differ. Doctoral gowns are faced with velvet, with three bars per sleeve. The black mortarboard cap is common to all degrees.

The hood is the most distinctive feature of academic dress. The color and style distinguish degree level, college or university, and discipline, although the proliferation of fields and institutions does not always allow easy identification. Hoods are all black, and they become longer and wider with more advanced degrees. All are lined inside with silk in the academic colors of the institution that conferred the degree.

The outer velvet trim on the hood, which becomes broader with the higher degrees, indicates the academic discipline. The white border for arts and letters emanates from the fur trim of the Oxford and Cambridge bachelor of arts degree. Red is the traditional color of the Church, and scarlet indicates theology. The royal purple of King's Court signifies the law. Green, the color of medicinal herbs, stands for medicine. Golden yellow indicates science, for through research untold wealth has been given to the world. Oxford pink indicates music. Russet brown for forestry is a tribute to the old-time dress of English foresters. Blue, the color of wisdom and truth, represents philosophy and is used on the trim for most academics who hold the doctor of philosophy degree, regardless of which discipline they studied in the arts and sciences.

THE MALE

During the Middle Ages, the mace was carried into battle by churchmen who were forbidden by church law to bear edged weapons. The mace was later carried before the king by his bodyguard and eventually became the symbol of authority. A mace is now commonly used by governments and by institutions of higher learning in ceremonial processions. Whittier's mace bears the College seal, which displays a flame symbolizing the Light of Learning with the motto in Latin engraved around it: Lux, Poesis, Veritas, Paz, AmorEruditionis (Light, Poetry Truth, Peace, Love of Knowledge).
